Intersubject and dose-related variability after intravenous administration of erythromycin. 1980

K L Austin, and L E Mather, and C R Philpot, and P J McDonald

1 It is well-known that considerable variability and unpredictability in serum concentrations results from orally administered erythromycin. 2 Disposition kinetics and their variability were studies in 24 healthy subjects after a single dose of erythromycin lactobionate and four doses were studied to evaluate dose-related variability in five other subjects. 3 Erythromycin kinetics were adequately described by a classical two compartment open model with little intersubject variability. 4 Dose-related variability occurred. Clearance was independent of dose but T1/2 beta and Vdss increased with dose. 5 Data are presented to show that non-invasive sampling of urine and saliva are of limited value in studying erythromycin pharmacokinetics.

D004917 Erythromycin A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.
